Perfect Stranger

Letter from a young girl to the perfect stranger

Dear Stranger,

    It’s been a while. I don’t know if you remember me or not, but I’m that little girl. Remember?
The one that used to love you with all her heart & more.
You know, the one that foolishly lied to herself over & over again about why you broke your promise again.
The one that repeatedly made up excuses of why you didn’t call.
And that no matter how many times you turned your back to her would always be waiting with open arms when you were ready to come back; regardless.
She'd cried herself to sleep each night questioning herself why she was never good enough to just be in your life even if it wasn‘t a big part.
The girl that through heartache & pain would always put a smile on just so you wouldn’t see how much you actually hurt her.
The only girl who regardless of how many tears she cried for you she would always take you back just so she could get a simple “hello” from you every once in a while.
When others told her to give up she'd blindly say “ No .. he really does care.“ , even when in the back of her mind even she knew it was a lie.

 

     No matter how much she wanted you to just turn around & realize what a great thing you have, she knew it was just hopeless wishing.
     But you know what? I’m not that little girl anymore & for once, this time, I don’t need you.
     I finally realized I was fighting in this endless war by myself. & that’s there's nothing left worth fighting for.

So I’m letting go.
I’m moving on with my life without you.
And it may not be easy.
I’m sure there’s gonna be more heartache & tears to come but I know that in the end it’s gonna be worth it.
Because I’ll get through it & I’ll grow .. & I know that one day you’re gonna look back & realize how much I really did love you.
And how much you didn’t care.
And you’re gonna regret every moment you let slip right between your fingers. Cause it’s true what they say. Time really does fly by. & you never realize what you have ‘till its too late.

      So this is my final good-bye. & when people start to ask if some worthless boy could have possibly broken this strong girl’s heart I’ll look through sad eyes & say. “Yes“, only 1 foolish boy has truly broken my heart.

But you know what?

You’ve taught me a lot & for that I must thank you. I learned that you can’t hold on to something that doesn’t want to me held on to. & that sometimes the thing that you want the most you’re better off without.

So thanks daddy… you’ve made your little girl real smart.

Sincerely was Yours;

Me
